Ever wonder what it’s like to attend a comic convention on the OTHER side of the table? Here’s what I learned selling books at my first convention.
If you are one of the few authors who has been published by anyone other than yourself, you understand what a rare gem you have in your publisher. They give you credibility. They get your work on the market to a broad audience. And let’s be honest, they validate your skills as a writer. This is why the thought that you could be so lucky and skilled as to obtain a contract and lose it is almost unthinkable. Tragic.
Confession from the Trail: Training
The answers to questions about my training
First Confession from the Trail: the most common question I’m asked is, “but, why?” usually paired with a look of horror when I describe the distances of some of the races. 50k (31.1 miles), 50 miles, 100 miles, 200?? Why indeed.
As a normal, truly sane human being, I recognize that for most people, finishing a 5k can be an accomplishment. Many people in their life will complete a half marathon. Some people will go so far as finishing a marathon.
But only the truly insane seek to complete an ultramarathon.
